This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Stupid in Seattle.
I'm Canadian. I was in Seattle last June. I had a beer too many. I was charged with DUI. At my age and being a foreign national I was in trouble. I first spoke with Mr. Phillipson's law partner. She's amazing. Ms. Lundin assured me the process would be handled by herself and Mr. Phillipson. I had a very good case. I was over the limit but registered .085. The law process is enormous. Do not proceed without calling this law firm. The amount of money I spent was very small compared to the imsurance implications alone. We did not go to trial. A good lawyer is your best friend in any legal proceeding. I couldn't have been more pleased with the end result. I did not lose my licence. Mr Phillipson is very well respected within the WA legal community. I made two very brief trips back to Seattle and the matter was dealt with. When you've been criminally charged in WA state, call Mr Phillipson. It will be the best phone call you will ever make. I've learned much from this experience. Firstly, don't drink and drive. Secondly, pay to have a legal team take care of the way your feeling right now. You've made a mistake otherwise you wouldn't be reading this. Phillipson & Lundin gave me my life back.

Kennet was great!
First DUI at my "old 'age"....was scared to death. Kennet is calm, knowledgeable and just an all around great person. I'm not too sure what happened at the end, but for me, with a perfect driving record, I got off pretty easy and to this day I thank God and Kennett.

Worth every penny
Morning! I'm guessing you're on this site now because you had a rough night. Sorry. A few months ago I got a DUI, with a BAC of .15, pretty awful. I found Kennet through his top notch firm, and I am eternally greatful that I stumbled upon him. The resolution we reached was negligent driving. There are some stipulations, no DUIs for two years, but it's a fantastic result! As far as the attorneys fees go, it was the best money I ever spent. I didn't have to pay any fines related to the DUI charge, other than court costs, so I figure I probably even saved money in the long run. Kennet is a fabulous attorney! You can't change the past, but Kennet can definately help to lessen it's impact on your future.

very professional, great person to work with
My son needed a lawyer about 6 months ago. I went to Avvo to read some reviews. Made an appt. with another attorney at his law firm. That attorney had to leave so we talked with Kennet. I am so glad we did. He did a great job for my sons DUI case. He was there whenever we had a question and he got the job done in a timely manner. I highly recommend him
